It affects people differently. I was taking 2 at a time at 50 mg every 6 hours. Did this for 6 months. The pain subsided as my physical therapy went on. I then stopped to see how my healing was coming along. Three days later I took one and took another later. I then would take one when I needed it. I was given a new script a year ago. I thin I used it twice or thrice since... No with drawals problems. Last time I needed it was like six months ago.. I now use neproxin as needed.... My problem was a torn shoulder... It still hurts, daily it RU s at a level of 2 - 3,,, FETs to an 7 or 8 I then take neproxin.

Thank you for letting us know this. So many or I will say most will not come back and let us know if they passed or not. Questions to help others if you do not mind......... How many panel was it......and what was it for....... its ok if it was for probation. Many here are on probation or pain management. Did you take any steps to help remove it from your body like lots of water and sweating or not? These are the things they will want to know. I myself dont need the anwser to this but will help so many in the long run. I have found most people here are in pain but can not get the necessary meds they need to keep from pain.......or they are trying to stop drugs...... and slip........ etc......... I have never been a addict and never intend to be one. I am however a patient in Pain Managment and they have a several panel test they do on us ......its a pop test .....you never know your gonna get one......and I mean we are talking over 20 panels.......... they test you for everything........ your supposed to be taking and make sure it shows up enough...........and what we are not supposed to be taking...... I have never failed as far as what I shouldn't be taking........but have failed once for meds they have given me to take...... that I did not have enough in my system.. Yep they do that. So I learned fast. My first and only strike I can have. So thank you so much for letting us know this......... if you would indulge however in what you did before it would be much appreciated. More than likely I am thinking that you did not know that Tramadol is a controlled medication now. Thank you again for posting.

However you add it up! On renewing my pilot medical class three. ( private pilot), I willingly submitted information to the examiner, for reasons of being in compliance with Canadian air regulations. CAR'S. I the chief medical officers opinion it is indeed considered an opiate. Can cause sedation. Ordered not to exercise the priveleges of my licence as pilot in command while using this medication. Therefore grounded. What does that tell you. That includes most forms of muscle relaxants, codeine, gabapentin and any form of anti spasmodic medication. I am now a walking eagle. Thanks for the forum. Too late. Cheer's.

Tramadol IS considered a narcotic now by doctors and pharmacies but technically it's not bcz it's not the same as other opiates. I've been in the suboxone clinic, as well, almost a year now and they'll tell you that it blocks opiates but it does not block tramadol bcz, like I said, not the same ingredients. Also tramadol will be out of your system by 1 week at least.... Probably sooner.

I was recently on 50mg three times a day for one month. Took me two days to get over really feeling like crap and about a week to get over the anxiety and nervousness. Did a drug test two weeks later and was clean.

That is not true, I see a pain management doctor and took some tramadol thinking it would not be a problem. I was given a warning because it showed up in my system. They DO in fact test for it specifically.

A lot of over the counter medications can show up as meth-so you need to tell your pain management Dr, if you take like robatussin and i just heard that zantac for heartburn can show meth. I am sure there are a lot of things that a person can take that shows up meth. so it might not be the Tramadol?

I don't think it will show up after that long. However...I could be wrong and let me explain this... it don't stick to your cells...... like Pot does. But.... remember when going to a pain management Dr they have specialized drug test. Several panels. I think the one they do on me is like 27 panels. They do check for drugs you are not supposed to be taking........but..... they ALSO check for the medications your supposed to be taking and they do measure how much is in your system. Meaning..... If your only taking about half of your meds and selling them....... or just not taking them .......they WILL know. It happened to me. They put me on stronger medication.... a different medication.... and when they did my test I more or less failed on the amount they tested me for. I was way low. Yes they asked me point blank if I was selling it! I said no.. the meds they switched me to was allot better and I did not need as much. So they fixed my wagon really fast...... they give me a new script and cut back the count on me..and sure enough the next month I needed the extra I had not taken and it took me 4 months for them to move me back up to what they originally give me. They drug tested me the month before they give them back to me ......and then again the month after I was given them back. Pain Management Drs do NOT play around. And I have a good relationship with my Dr and his PA's. But they will quickly put you in your place. I have had to see one since 2007. I started off with Tramadol as needed and a very light 12mg Fentynal Patch. I have graduated to Oxycodone 30mg and 50 mg patch every other day. I hate that I have to take it. But I can not take products with Aspirin in them... I was taking Celebrex before and when I had a GI bleed just taking one of anything with Aspirin in it will land me in ICU with a bleeding ulcer. And I know eventually I will be on stronger stuff after my body gets used to what its getting now..... Its sad..... I hate that I am on it and addicted to it... If I happen to run out early...... I suffer so badly its not funny. I do hope it does not show up on your test if you are tested. But remember they have the heavy duty drug tests.. Best wishes and please come back and tell us how it goes. No one does......and we are still left wondering with not many answer's.
